RVAbrendan Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Anyone know where I can stream a show for free? Specifically, Dance Moms, season 1. I've seen all the season 2 episodes, and want to go back and see how it all began. As another source, try tvduck dot com. They have everything I've ever wanted to watch.

ixcuincle Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Watch for the buffering. Had some trouble watching some shows yesterday because of that nonsense.

ixcuincle Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Interesting article in the Post about the decline of sushi standards in America This cultural difference — the hard-wired fastidiousness of Japan vs. the Hollywood casualness of America — might help explain why Okochi feels glum about the future of authentic sushi. Americans might just not care all that much. They might prefer the wide-open freedoms of maki rolls, whose big flavors and boundless creativity are more aligned with America’s image of itself.The roll, as Trevor Corson points out in his 2008 paperback, “The Story of Sushi: An Unlikely Saga of Raw Fish and Rice,” is a U.S. invention, “considered the key innovation that made sushi accessible to Americans.” When I spoke with Corson by phone, he sympathized with Okochi about the future of sushi in America and even suggested that the future may already be here. The author sees no death of high-end restaurants, where the 1 percenters will still revel in the genuine experience. The loss will continue to occur at mid-grade sushi houses, where the standards have slipped, if indeed there were any to begin with. The subtle interactions of seasoned rice and fresh fish have been reduced to cartoonish wallops of wasabi and soy sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBash Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Today I worked with a man he has had several encounters with paranormal activity and demons. He said it destroyed his family. Wrote a book about it and had a deal in place for a movie to be made about his life. He's been on several tv and radio shows telling about his life. It kind of freaked me out. Having said that, I don't buy into the whole ghost thing, I just don't. It would take a first hand account for me to start believing in that kind of thing and even then, I'd still be skeptical. But, he was a very, very nice dude and fun to work with. Here is his website if anyone is into that kind of thing. www.billbean.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Watching the WVU game. The officiating in WVU games has been awful on Saturday, and today. Perhaps Major Harris or EG can weigh in on the massive conspiracy against WVU by the officials due to WVU bolting the BE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praise_gibbs Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Am I the only one who noticed that Comcast charges $4.99 per month for their new "30 minutes or less" policy? So, if they miss time my "appointment" once, I get a $20 credit. But, that would have already beat me for $60 on the year. So I'd be $40 in the hole! How are they able to get away with this?

ixcuincle Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 It's hilarious that the NFL even considers moving the Super Bowl to London in the near future. Why in the world would you want to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why in the world would you want to do that? Because they can??? Add-On: How would that work time wise? Would the Super Bowl have to be played at 8:00PM London 4:00est. That would suck for people in the pacific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaissance Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I don't see a problem with it. It's not like the game is meant for the common NFL fan anymore. I heard on the radio that the avg ticket price right now is like $4,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard on the radio that the avg ticket price right now is like $4,000. Exactly. How many actual fans of those teams do you think will be there? Maybe half the stadium with real fans and the other half filled with corporate suits. Doesn't matter if the game was here or London, it would be sold out and millions of people would watch on TV.

Mr. Sinister Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 The Super Bowl is a neutral site, so location wouldn't/shouldn't matter. I actually wouldn't mind the Super Bowl being taken overseas/North/South of the border every year, or every 3 years. Seems like they alternate between 5-6 US sites anyways (Tampa, Miami, Glendale, New Orleans, etc). I wouldn't mind seeing the Super Bowl played in Brazil, Tokyo, Osaka, places like that. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 No, the Super Bowl shouldn't be brought overseas. It's a huge boost to the economy in the cities that host it. The NFL is an American Sports League. Let's allow American cities to profit from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL is an American Sports League. Let's allow American cities to profit from it. I agree on some level. I also agree that it shouldn't matter where they play. I am on the fence clearly. The NFL wants to market itself to the world. The NFL has a responsibility to help the cities profit. Plenty of other cities should have a chance to hold a super bowl before they start going all over the world. At the same time...where the game is played should not matter at all. The NFL requires a certain amount of hotels available, but prefers the warmer or domed stadium areas. I would even go as far to suggest that the NFL plays in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl or in Hawaii with the Pro Bowl in Las Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 One issue that really isn't hard to overlook, but could be a huge factor in keeping the Super Bowl in the US, would be fan interest from abroad, which clearly isn't anywhere near the level that it is in the US. Although the fact that a higher stakes game would draw slightly more, it still would not be enough. It would still be cool to see it played in another country though.
